Yogi Bear| Military Cadence
(Lyrics & History)
The U.S. Military uses call-and-response chants called "Jodies" to keep troops in step, lift their spirits, and bring them together during marches and runs. These chants are an important part of military tradition.
Lyrics
On a bright and sunny day
Two little bears came out to play
Gathered up all their money
Bought themselves a jar of honey
But the fat one ate it all
Pushed the little one, watched him fall
Now the fat one’s on the run
‘Cause the little one, ‘cause the little one, ‘cause the little one’s got a gun
Yogi bear is dead
Boo-Boo shot him in the head
Yogi bear is dead
Boo-Boo shot him in the head
Ranger Rick stood on a hill
Ranger Rick, he saw the kill
Now the ranger’s on the run
‘Cause the little one, ‘cause the little one, ‘cause the little one’s got a gun
Ranger Rick is dead
Boo-Boo shot him in the head
Ranger-Rick is dead
Boo Boo shot him in the head
